No, I'm talking about the animated "VU Meter" bar on the upper left of the screen. It blinks and shows the input level when the microphone gets input. For instance, if I tap the mic, I see it flash a level for a moment.

So I can tell when the mic is "hearing" something loud enough to register.

What I'm saying is that this particular mic is nowhere near sensitive enough to make any of the frequencies register at all, except the lowest subwoofer bass notes that make my car shake. Only those lowest car-shaking frequencies made that little level meter blink at all. The midrange and higher frequencies didn't even make it blip.

The mic just doesn't get "loud enough".
